I have updated to JB successully. Everything looks OK, but in step 7 I had a mistake:- Select the BOOTLOADER instead of PDA checkbox, so the BASEBAND has been changed. After that, 3G access is very not stable.I repeat upper step with ICS image, the BASEBAND has been changed to original, but it seems that 3G modem is not working properly.Please help to suggest me a good solution for this issue. Thanks.
